FALLBROOK  The Fallbrook Historical Society and San Diego County Farm Bureau are putting on a community event to honor area farmers. “A Salute to Agriculture: Honoring 100 Years of Agriculture in San Diego” is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. tomorrow at the historical society’s museum grounds, 1730 Hill Ave.

Agricultural memorabilia and historical photos will be on display along with a sampling of fruits, vegetables, flowers and others goods from local farmers and growers available as part of the raffle.

Eric Larson, executive director of the San Diego County Farm Bureau is scheduled to present a slide presentation, “Celebrating 100 Years of Agriculture in San Diego County.” Janet Silva Kister, co-owner of Sunlet Nurseries, will give a Fallbrook perspective on farming.

Part of the program will highlight area multi-generational families in the agricultural industry. Among the families recognized are the Lucy and Hofshi families. Bob Lucy began working in the avocado industry after graduation from college and nearly 20 years later, in 1989, partnered with Bob Siemer and Rueben Hofshi to buy Del Rey Avocado Company, according to the historical society. The three partners are still in business together. Since then Lucy has been joined by sons Patrick and Donnie.

Rueben Hofshi, co-owner of Del Rey Avocado, has been active for 25 years as a grower, packer and member of numerous avocado organizations involved in avocado research. Hofshi’s sons Eli and Danny now run Eli’s Farm Stand on East Mission Road. Cristina Machado, who works at Eli’s stand, is connected to the Hofshi family through land ownership. Machado’s family once owned the Hofshi’s land in De Luz through an original Spanish land grant.

The historical society is now developing a collection of the stories of Fallbrook’s multi-generational and extended families involved in agriculture.

The program concludes with a tribute to all area farmers and growers.

The historical society’s buildings will be open, including the Pittinger House, Ford Room, Rock and Mineral Room and barn and museum. Docents will answer questions.

The event is free. Call (760) 723-4125 or visit fallbrookhistoricalsociety.com.
